How do you market your services. Do you market both online and offline? Congratulations late but sincere HI! Here are ways that I market/promote my business: 1. Having a web site. 2. Belonging to multiple VA organizations and being an active participant (think subcontracting opportunities!) 3. Responding to RFPs. 4. Looking at help wanted ads. 5. Having a niche market and finding "where" that market hangs out and promote accordingly. 6. Referral bonuses. 7. Direct mail. 8. I always look for partnership opportunities. 9. Having a blog. Some things that I will be doing are: 1. Implementing a newsletter. 2. Advertising in trade journals. Thanks! __________________ Doreen R. Patrick, MVA, ACS, CIVA www.virtualbusinesspartners.net

I looked into the VA industry last year and put it on the back burner. I'm glad I'm taking the plunge!
